Today's run was from Bentonville, AR to Albuquerque, NM. Cruised at 70 mph. Had a head wind of about 35 mph almost the entire day and a run from 1000ft to 5600ft overall including a stretch over 7000 ft. and even so got 27.1 mpg for the day's effort. For the trip so far: 2560 miles, 83.32 gallons for 30.72 mpg overall average.

One final leg tomorrow of 800 miles.

Couldn't be happier with the way the car performs.

Here's the trip altitude profile

Please don't break that car on this trip. You have a date with us on Saturday! Try to bring many other members and their MB's back with you to join us on the cruise as well. They are in need of a road trip I am sure....Rich
